Dubai
J Hus Feat. Locz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You might see me in the village
You might see me in Dubai
I should've went to probation
But I got too high

I told my booboo come roll one
And then we inhaled the dank-o
Cause she been juuging all day

Like Griselda Blanco tryna make a mill
You won't see me in the shubs
You might see me in the ville
You might see me in the Dubs
More time they can't pass the fifteen barrier
All we fear is God and a 16 carrier
You know that feeling when life's so good
Life's so good? Make you say bumbaclart
Chale, bumbaclart chale, bumbaclart chale
You know that feeling when life's so good
Life's so good? Make you say bumbaclart
Chale, bumbaclart chale, bumbaclart chale

You might see me in the village
You might see me in Dubai
I should've went to probation
But I got too high

They say they know me but
They don't know this life
I roll around with my wifey as
My stick on my side
Bad B give me eye, she give me naughty eye
And I ain't ever told a lie
On the words I write
And I ain't ever in Dubai, I'm in the village
Possessing something lethal with my hitters
If the beef gets cooking
I ain't gotta get vocal
And if you see blue tape
You know it was local

And I could never be friends with them
Bare shots, I'mma send for them
Said I got one shot and I'mma take it
Cause I'm just tryna make it
But they will never understand
How I like the
Finer things in life for my baby
Like diamond rings and ice

You might see me in the village
You might see me in Dubai
I should've went to probation
But I got too high

Rolling through the hood in my shades
From young
They've been telling me I'm big for my age
But I ain't too big for this gauge
Black balaclava, you don't wanna slip like
I just wanna trap and she just wanna trap me
And she gon' eat this wood if she a bad B
I give her naughty eye, she make me happy
But I ain't tryna be her baby daddy

You might see me in the village
You might see me in Dubai

I should've went to probation
But I got too high

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Dubai" by J Hus Feat. Locz paint a vivid picture of a life lived between two contrasting worlds. The singer acknowledges the possibility of being seen in both the village and Dubai, hinting at a dual existence marked by different experiences and environments. There's a sense of missed opportunities and potential consequences as the line "I should've went to probation / But I got too high" reveals a decision made in the heat of the moment.

The mention of probation suggests a brush with the law, perhaps due to drug-related activities as indicated by getting high. The casual mention of inhaling "dank-o" with a partner, cruising through life while chasing a high, adds a carefree yet reckless element to the narrative. There's a reference to Griselda Blanco, known for her involvement in drug trafficking, highlighting the pursuit of wealth amidst risky endeavors.

The recurring theme of duality persists throughout the verses, with mentions of the village juxtaposed against Dubai, and the singer's preference for the "finer things in life" contrasted with a streetwise, gritty reality. The use of local slang like "chale" and "bumbaclart" adds cultural authenticity to the lyrics, emphasizing a sense of identity and belonging within a specific community.

The final verse delves deeper into the complexities of relationships and personal aspirations. The singer navigates the challenges of their surroundings, balancing a desire for material wealth with the harsh realities of street life. The reference to potential violence ("Bare shots, I'mma send for them") and the need to protect oneself underscores a sense of vulnerability amidst the pursuit of success. Overall, "Dubai" captures the nuances of a life straddling different worlds, highlighting the struggles, desires, and contradictions that shape the singer's experiences.

Line by Line Meaning

You might see me in the village
Despite my fame and success, I still humble myself by visiting my roots in the village.

You might see me in Dubai
I have achieved a level of success where I can also be seen in upscale locations like Dubai.

I should've went to probation
I had a responsibility to fulfill a legal obligation, but I neglected it due to getting intoxicated.

But I got too high
I consumed substances to the point where I could not fulfill my obligations.
